Texas Size Theme Parks

From roller coasters to water slides, these theme parks offer Texas size fun! Find out where the best ones are located and what to expect when you get there, as well as the best times to visit.
SeaWorld San Antonio
SeaWorld has long been known as a leader in marine exhibits and waterpark entertainment. SeaWorld San Antonio lives up to its billing, featuring marine life shows and displays, adventure camps, thrilling rides, a water park and more.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas
San Antonio's Six Flags Fiesta Texas has been one of Texas' top attractions since its inception. This massive theme park offers the only "floorless" roller coaster in the southwest, plus over 100 rides - including Tony Hawk's Big spin, shows, a waterpark and more.
Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark - South Padre Island
One of the top waterparks in the country, South Padre Island's Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark is located right on the beach and offers a wide variety of waterslides, rides, pools and other ways to 'get wet.' Schlitterbahn Beach also features a restaurant, sports bar and evening entertainment during the summer season.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark - New Braunfels
Texas' original - and best known - waterpark, Schlitterbahn, is located in the Germanic Hill Country town of New Braunfels. Taking advantage of the natural surroundings, most notably the hilly terrain and clear, cold Guadalupe River, Schlitterbahn offers visitors a unique and fun-filled way to cool off beat the Texas heat during the summer.
Schlitterbahn Galveston Island
Popular Texas waterpark Schlitterbahn has added a third location - Schlitterbahn Galveston Island. Like the other Schlitterbahn parks, Schlitterbahn Galveston Island features plenty of unique and innovative rides. However, unlike any other waterpark in the world, Schlitterbahn Galveston Island is 'convertible,' offering outdoor fun in the summer and indoor water rides during the winter.
Wet-n-Wild Waterpark
It certainly gets hot in El Paso. When it does, cool off at Wet-n-Wild Water Park.
Western Playland Theme Park
Don't let the name fool you, Western Playland is actually much more modern-day amusement park than Old West playground.
Funtrackers Family Fun Center
Funtrackers Family Fun Center in Corpus Christi offers entertainment for the whole family, including an arcade, mechanical bull, bumper boats, go carts, kiddie rides and more.
Adventure Bay Water Theme Park
What better way to beat the Houston heat in the summer? Cool off at Adventure Bay Water Theme Park's waterslides, rides, and other wet, cool attractions.
Splashtown USA
Splashtown USA offers over 20 acres of water slides and pools to help you beat the summer heat while visiting San Antonio.
Six Flags Over Texas
Open year around, Six Flags Over Texas offers rides, shows, and more to Dallas area visitors.
Lost Lagoon at SeaWorld
Located inside of SeaWorld San Antonio, Lost Lagoon appears to be just that - acres of surf, sand, and palm trees right in the heart of San Antonio.
